Replacement Spring Bars for Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System for Tongue Weight 385 lbs
Updated 05/14/2019 | Published 05/12/2019
Question:
I have the 350lb system on my setup. 2016 Honda Pilot and 2017 Kodiak Dutchman hitch weight rated to 385lbs. I thought of upgrading the spring bars to the BXW4005 for 350 to 550tw. Just the bars not the whole system. I know this will not change my weight ratings. I thought this might help with my swaying in winds. What is the thought. Is this a good idea or will this make it worst?

Expert Reply:
Since your tongue weight is 385 lbs you are over the rating of your 350 lb tongue weight system so going to higher rated spring bars like part # BXW4005 will be your best option. This will help reduce sway and also improve the handling and braking of the tow setup as well.
